How to set up the Do Not Sell (DNS) modal

  • Updated

In addition to allowing users to opt out of both the selling and sharing of personal information, CPRA also states that businesses must “provide a clear and conspicuous link” to enact this right. Although the Osano CMP cookie preference drawer allows users to set this preference, it also contains additional preferences.  In some cases, users may need to scroll to access the “Do Not Sell or Share” setting.

To satisfy this requirement for a single link, you can use the “Do Not Sell” (DNS) modal, which can be activated using the Osano JavaScript API.

Customizing the Do Not Sell modal text

[Premier-Only Feature]

Out of the box, Osano provides text and language translations that meet necessary privacy standards. This language has been reviewed and approved by legal professionals and privacy experts. 

If you would like to change or adjust this language, you can do so within the Osano platform, under the Text Customizations tab.

The following attributes of the do not sell modal can currently be adjusted: 

  • Do Not Sell Header ("Your Privacy Choices")
  • Do Not Sell Description
  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information Category Label
  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information Category Description

IMPORTANT: Custom text may not qualify to be covered under the "No Fines, No Penalties" guarantee. To ensure you qualify for the guarantee, you must use the default language.

To preview and customize how the Do Not Sell (DNS) modal will display on your site, you can do so within the Osano platform. [ see Styling Consent Manager for more details.]

 

Triggering the Do Not Sell modal on your website

To trigger the "Do Not Sell" modal, use the following JavaScript snippet. This code must be implemented outside of the Osano application and should be placed directly within the <footer> section of your site's HTML.

Osano.cm.showDoNotSell()

  • This is the preferred method.
  • In some cases, window.Osano.cm.showDoNotSell() should be used

Examples: Osano.cm.showDoNotSell()

<a href="#" onclick="Osano.cm.showDoNotSell()">Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information</a>
<a onClick={Osano.cm.showDoNotSell()}>Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information</a>

Example: window.Osano.cm.showDoNotSell()

@click="window.Osano.cm.showDoNotSell()"
